Low Anti Freeze Problem with my 2002 Kia Spectra

\015 I had to "Add" Fluid to my Radiator on my 2002 Kia Spectra. I did NOT Get a "Warning Light/Check Engine Light" about the Low Radiator Fluid Levels! The ONLY Way I found out about it was with my : Engine Temp Gage on Dash Board, It was Working OK (1/2 Mark-Safe Zone) then it went to the 3/4 Mark!\012\012After a WHILE Cooling(Sitting) I had to ADD 1 Gallon of Coolant to the Radiator and Reserve Bottle!\012\012The Car Run's in the 1/2 mark in Temps now.. I wanna Know do I Have to "REPLACE" my Water PUMP or Radiator to solve this Problem!\012\012After Sitting Over Night/A While Temp Gage goes from 0 to 1/2 in a 1/2 mile distance. \012\012Car has 79K on the Odemeter!\012Like to get this "SOLVED"!\015

I'd hate to say mab bad head gasket but without looking at it its hard to say. Have s9mone u can trust look at it and hopefully not the problem. Have u notices any leakage?

You know now you have to check the fluids from time to time, at least once a week.Where the leak is will determine what has to be done to fix it.Could be several things, including a leaking head gasket.
